    Analysis and Time-series Forecasting of Corporate Stock Price

    Fluctuations in the stock market represent the changes in the national economy objectively, stock price prediction predicts the future trend of stocks using the past data, which has been widely focused on. Some machine learning algorithms, such as linear fitting and sequence mining, are used to predict the stock market. However, linear fitting faces the problem of overfitting and black relationships with historical data, while sequence mining is short in efficiency and lacks dynamic adaptations. State-of-the-art methods using attention mechanism in neural networks have shown exceptional performance targeting sequential prediction and classification. In this paper, we propose a combined LSTM-CNN attention model to explore the role of attention mechanism in Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) network-based stock price movement prediction. Experimental results show that our LSTM-CNN-attention model can provide an accurate prediction and reliable trial on the stock price prediction, and the attention mechanism significantly improves the model performance in the stock market.

    Fintech: Digital Transformation in Finance

    This paper provides an overview of the rapidly expanding fintech sector and its impact on traditional financial services. Fintech has emerged as a customer-centric business model in response to the shortcomings of conventional financial services during the financial crisis and COVID-19. The fintech industry has created prospects in a variety of areas, including blockchain (specifically cryptocurrencies), robo-advisors, online payment services, and peer-to-peer lending platforms. However, the quick expansion of fintech also comes with risks, and investment decisions must be made carefully, considering project duration and volatility. Risk management is crucial to preserving financial stability, and legal oversight is necessary. Machine learning and deep learning techniques can be employed to recognize and mitigate these risks. Banking institutions must take precautions to protect customer data and manage unforeseen operations. The fintech sector has the potential to transform the financial industry while maintaining long-term financial health through a balance of innovation, regulatory monitoring, and financial stability.

    Impact of Capital Structure on the Operating Performance of Listed Companies in the Pharmaceutical Industry

    The objective of this paper is to explore the correlation between the capital structure and op-erating performance of selected leading pharmaceutical companies listed on the stock ex-change during the COVID-19 pandemic. To investigate how diverse capital structures influ-ence corporate performance, this study collects, calculates, and compares pertinent financial data, including leverage ratios, performance indicators, and cash flow, for these firms over three years. The findings show that companies with lower debt ratios are more likely to achieve stable earnings and cash flows, as well as to achieve higher performance indicators to some extent, compared to companies with higher debt ratios. Thus, capital structure has an impact on a company's operating performance. At the same time, a reasonable capital structure optimization can enhance a company's operating performance and mitigate opera-tional risks. It is recommended that listed companies in the pharmaceutical industry should focus on optimizing their capital structure to reduce financial risks and financing costs and to improve cash flow levels in order to achieve stable improvements in operating perfor-mance while ensuring sound operations and management. Investors should also focus on the capital structure of companies when making investment decisions and select those compa-nies with a sound capital structure for investment. These findings and recommendations provide suggestions and directions for the pharmaceutical industry to optimize its capital structure and improve its operating performance.
